That's why I said stats can be misleading, he doesn't have the best record, but I'm 99% sure everyone would class him as the best English pace bowler.
It would probably be 50-50 between him and Swann for best English bowler.
I would go:
Anderson>Swann>Broad>Sidebottom>Onions/Harmison/Finn/a few others>the rest
I'd have Harmison over Mahmood and Plunkett, but I'd say Mahmood and Plunkett are about equal.
As I said before, I'm not sure why Anderson wasn't an icon player.
